Hypothetical (but impossible) Trade Proposal

This is regarding a debate I'm having with my uncle. I need some of youse to settle it for me.

IF IF IF the Pacers traded their #1 pick and Danny Granger for the #1 overall pick in this draft so that they could get Trey Burke, do you think the Pacers would do it? And do you think the opposing team would do it?

I realize this is not possible because this isn't the NFL, so you just have to play along.

Feel free to throw out your personal opinion. I would love to hear it. But keep in mind my question is do you think the Pacers and/or Organization X would do it.

If I had the #1 pick in the draft, I'd laugh at the Pacers for that proposal. Sorry, but Danny was never worth the #1 pick, even when healthy.

Re: Hypothetical (but impossible) Trade Proposal

I wish I could start this thread over.

Burke going #1 was more based on the Pacers' needs and how they appear to need a guard before any sort of interior player. This proposal isn't meant to predict Burke as the #1 overall. Forget Burke and enter in whatever #1 overall pick you think the Pacers would want.

Also, I meant to say "assuming a healthy Danny Granger". If the other team has reason to believe Granger will be healthy and back to 20 PPG or so, do they do it?

You don't trade a guy with a lot of potential that you guarantee can have for 7 or 8 years for a guy with severe injury issues on the last year of a 14 million dollar contact with no guarantee that he would come back.

Re: Hypothetical (but impossible) Trade Proposal

No team would trade a top ten pick for an injured Danny Granger and our pick This isn't the NFL, draft picks are important to most teams. I have Burke going in the 10 to 15 range. But with how he's playing lately I could see him cracking the top ten. I'd rather have smart or MCW though.
